CONVENTION FOR FACILITATING THE INTERNATIONAL
CIRCULATION OF FILMS OF AN EDUCATIONAL CHARACTER
Convinced that it is highly desirable to facilitate the international circulation of educational
films of every kind, which contribute towards the mutual understanding of peoples, in conformity
with the aims of the League of Nations and consequently encourage moral disarmament or which
constitute especially effective means of ensuring physical, intellectual and moral progress;
Noting that educational films are insufficiently known and that their international circulation
encounters numerous difficulties;
Considering that Customs duties often constitute a serious obstacle to the production
and circulation of these films and that States do not obtain any appreciable compensating financial
advantage:
Have appointed as their Plenipotentiaries the following:
Who, having communicated their full powers, found in good and due form, have agreed
on the following provisions:
Article I.
The present Convention shall apply to films which, based on didactic methods, have eminently
international educational aims and fall within one of the five following categories:
{a) Films designed to supply information with regard to the work and aims of the
League of Nations and other international organisations which are generally recognised by
the High Contracting Parties;
{b) Films intended for use in education of all grades;
(c) Films intended for vocational training and guidance, including technical films
relating to industry and films relating to scientific management;
{d) Films dealing with scientific or technical research or designed to spread scientific
knowledge;
{e) Films dealing with health questions, physical training, social welfare and relief.
